Apply for the John Allwright Fellowship 2024

he John Allwright Fellowship (JAF) provides scientists, from partner countries currently or recently involved in ACIAR research projects, with the opportunity to obtain formal postgraduate qualifications at an Australian tertiary institution. The main aim of the Fellowship is to enhance scientific research capability in ACIAR partner country institutions.

Program Details

The JAF program is the largest investment in the ACIAR Capacity Building Program. It provides PhD and master’s by research scholarships to agricultural researchers, administered through the Australia Awards system.

ACIAR provides additional pastoral care and development opportunities to strengthen the leadership skills of participants during their scholarship to help bridge the gap between study and the next stages of their careers. There are approximately 38 JAFs studying in Australia at 18 universities across the country.

In its Gender Equity Policy and Strategy 2017-​2022, ACIAR committed to achieving gender parity in its Capacity Building Program by 2020. In line with this commitment, women now comprise at least half of the new JAFs.
